AMS Technologies has announced the PPMCI series, the latest addition to the Leclanché Capacitors family. This capacitor offers extreme mechanical stability owing to the rugged 16-pin contact and uses the latest self-healing polypropylene and polyester films. Models offer voltage/capacitance combinations such as 600 VDC and 35 μF, including a 2800 VDC version. For more information tel +49 89 89 5770; e-mail salesinfo@ams.de; or visit www.ams.de.
INTEGRATED Engineering Software has introduced the LORENTZ simulation software, which includes meniscus calculations for charged particle extraction from a plasma source. LORENTZ is an easy-to-use solver for analysing charged particle trajectories in the presence of electric and magnetic fields. The technique can also be applied to determine cathode shapes for uniform flux electron guns. For more information tel +1 204 632 5636; or visit www.integratedsoft.com.
KLASTECH-Karpushko Laser Technologies GmbH has launched its new DPSS laser, CRESCENDO, which for the first time provides continuous-wave output at the ruby wavelength, 693.4 nm. Available initially in 100 mW and 150 mW versions, the laser produces a single longitudinal frequency of <1 MHz line-width with a coherence length in excess of 100 m.

Princeton Gamma Tech Instruments has launched the Sahara III, a new silicon drift detector that delivers fast cool-down periods of less than five minutes. The reduction in cool-down times allows an improvement in throughput and data collection. The Sahara III is useful for end-users who are changing samples frequently, or in a shared vacuum requiring thermal cycling. For more, tel +1 609 924 7301; or visit www.pgt.com.
Sofradir has introduced the avalanche photodiode MWIR detector that uses mercury cadmium telluride technology. Designed for active imagery, spectrometry and a range of scientific applications, its micron-pitch IR detector enables users to operate cameras with small apertures or with narrow wavebands in extreme low-light detection.
